GSFN Show 27: Baloney G.A.Y.

With an inspiring disco opening number, Skip and Drew talk briefly about Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon before returning back to the trusted format of bringing you the latest in sci-fi news and film reviews.

GSFN News includes new Transformers announced for Transformers: The Revenge of the Fallen (hint: combining Decepticons), new author to replace dead author Douglas Adams for the sixth book in the trilogy of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Alan Moore spits venom and scorn on the latest of his graphic novels getting the big movie treatment, why he’s happy about the dispute between Warner Bros and 20th Century Fox and Zack Synder’s dismay as he tries to bring a faith adaptation of the Watchmen to the big screen.

New TV shows out now or coming soon include the Beeb’s Merlin and new a series of Bones on Sky One with one of its stars in a little drug related trouble. Speaking of police matters, there’s yet another Lost star, suffering from the Lost school of bad driver’s curse, convicted for drink driving.

Skip and Drew say hello to a few new fans of the podcast in their own special way and also get a special message from the other side…

Finally Skip and Drew review the new Vin Diesel, Michelle Yeoh and Lambert Wilson futuristic dystopian, quasi religious world of Babylon A.D. with the surprise conclusion that it wasn’t that bad… Or was it..?

Finally, Skip and Drew would like to wish George Takei and Brad Altman a peaceful and long life together, even if we didn’t get an invite to the wedding.
